How do we make Republic Day celebrations greener? Oneness, unity, and safety are the principles that guide the nation as it gives birth to Republic Day. Therefore, instead of digging deep into the earth, we should take more effective initiatives for Green Republic Day celebrations. As role models for the celebrations, we must show people that going green in a home does not look as tough as many assume it to be.

• The Road to Sustainability: Republic Day Celebration

Every 26th January, India celebrates Republic Day as a public holiday. This day commemorates the successful implementation of the Indian Constitution. This day has turned out to be a way of celebrating for everyone.

The Republic Day celebrations intensify the excitement and add interest with their symphony of cold, official, and pathos-filled rituals, which include aggressive drills, the hoisting of the national flag, and even stage shows. Unfortunately, this also leads to the production of numerous waste materials, such as disposable decorations and plastic flags, among other items.

Because of these reasons, I have become all the more vigilant and responsible in planning this year's Republic Day celebrations, which include not only waste management but also sustainable product usage. Green Republic Day aims to honor both the nation and the environment.

• Banners and eco-friendly decor

You can decorate using sustainable products. First and foremost, the plastic we use to create bunting, flags, and other disposable items ends up in landfills or as trash on the streets. Try to go for a greener option this Republic Day. Instead of using these eco-friendly and reusable materials during this Republic Day, perhaps you can opt for something greener and make use of these eco-friendly or reusable materials instead.

People around the country have started to use fabric flags—washable, reusable, and so on. Not only do they look excellent but also very long-lasting. Decorations created from recycled paper, jute, or even bamboo greatly save on waste. These simple, eco-friendly changes make all the difference in the quest for more sustainable celebrations. We are now celebrating Republic Day in an environmentally friendly manner.

It could be in the form of a school program, a community function, or even a very simple gathering at home; there are certain steps that we, as individuals, can undertake to reduce the pollution footprint of the Republic Day celebrations.

• Gifts and souvenirs that are environmentally friendly

Besides other activities, gifts are a major aspect of responsibility and personal choice. However, unless you are exchanging gifts with friends, family, or acquaintances, there is always the option to choose a sustainable product.

This time, I'd like to highlight homemade products made from natural resources or post-consumer waste. The most saliently observed examples of green and sustainable products are reusable carrier bags and recycled FSC-certified craft paper.

• Eco-friendly advertising and promotion

Ecologically friendly businesses are the best way to turn the national holiday, Republic Day, into a green celebration. There has been a surge in the number of emerging artists producing green products, whether it is organic wear or bamboo utensils. By rule, I buy decorations and gifts from these companies. This is not only to support small, sustainable businesses, but also to ensure that everything I use or give is environmentally friendly.

"When celebrating Republic Day or a small party, my goal is to have organic or locally grown organic food, if possible." It is a wonderful way to promote local farmers and other sustainable businesses. It accomplishes a more meaningful and environmentally friendly celebration.

Conclusion: Republic Day for All to Be Eco-Friendly

That's the national core value. The Republic Day celebration emphasizes sustainability. Using natural methods, we can all contribute to the cause. There are many little things one can do to bring the smallest yet most creative idea to any celebration. 

Consider adopting eco-friendly materials, incorporating green decor, or simply supporting small, local businesses. The nations will celebrate in a way that honors both their respective countries and the environment. Here, we aim to revive the festival atmosphere and remind everyone of their surroundings during this Republic Day celebration, where the performances themselves are present.
